In A Level Religious Studies pupils are challenged to think about complex issues such as whether real knowledge is possible, whether acting in one’s self-interest is always wrong, and whether Jesus was really divine. Lessons are taught exclusively by specialists in all three papers in dedicated teaching rooms. We run a successful Senior Philosophy Society and an annual essay prize, and several boys have won Oxbridge Philosophy Essay Prizes in recent years. Over the two years of A Level, boys are taught to recognise strong arguments, to use scholarship to bolster their views, and to actively engage with independent reading – all fundamental skills for university and beyond. Past pupils have gone on to read subjects as diverse as Law, Medicine, Mathematics, as well as Theology and Philosophy.
To maximise success at A Level we recommend: • A sum of at least 30 points from the top five GCSE grades • Grade 5 in GCSE English • Grade 5 in GCSE Mathematics • Grade 7* in the subjects to be studied at A Level All applications to subjects will be considered. Students are encouraged to speak with the Head of Department, Deputy Head Academic, or Sixth Form Academic Coordinator who can advise further on suitability to the A Level course. *Grade 8 for Further Mathematics.
